I have to agree with you. Right close around me most guys are farming with stuff that's 10-30 years old. Go just west of me and most are running stuff that's under 5 years old. Big 4X4s and such. For them a "yard tractor" used in the yard to run grain augers, clear snow and such most likely has 150 or more PTO HP. Bigger grain operations with 1500-2500 acres being a little guy.
Yep they build for the newer buyer. And the new buyer want auto-steer with GPS and all the other bells and whistles. Most don't even set in the tractor themselves, they hire operators. And they buy enough stuff that if something does break down they get attention right away. If you buy a used 50K tractor from the local dealer and I buy a new 250K one who do you think they are going to take care of first if we both have a problem? You may call first.......but they are going to work harder at keeping me happy.
I keep thinking that for 27K a guy can get a MFW 150-200 HP tractor with a half way decent cab on it.
